Hello, I have created a field on my stack and I trying to fill it with a webpage from the internet.
I have tried anything to bring the webpage to show it in that field I created but nothing it is working.
Anybody can help me? I am sure that probably the solution is pretty easy but I am new at this.
I am using this on a button:
on mouseUp
put URL "
http://www.abc.net/" into Field "WebField"
end mouseUp
But the field does not resolve the URL, only giving me the html source code!!
Thank you
Herman

You will probably want to look at the revBrowser features, but here is a quickie script
1. create an image control, call it "browserRect", set the dimensions to whatever you want
2. create a button, add this script
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
local tBrowserID
put revBrowserOpen(the windowID of this stack, "http://www.abc.net/") into tBrowserID // creates a revBrowser instance and navigates to the website
revBrowserSet tBrowserID, "rect", (the rect of image "browserRect") // sets the dimensions of the browser instance to the dimensions of the image
end mouseUp
3. ???

I have successfully created a button to launch the website but what about if I want the website to automatically open when stack open? I have tried the same code with " On preopenstack" and "end preopenstack without success. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

preOpenStack is too early, try moving it to either the preOpenCard (might still be too early) or openCard

Already tried without luck!
What could it be?

Might be due to the way the revBrowser external works, so lets try this in your stack/card script
Code: Select all
on preOpenStack
send "makeBrowserWork" to me in 0 seconds // this causes the message to be put at the end of the queue
end preOpenStack
on makeBrowserWork
local tBrowserID
put revBrowserOpen(the windowID of this stack, "http://www.abc.net/") into tBrowserID // creates a revBrowser instance and navigates to the website
revBrowserSet tBrowserID, "rect", (the rect of image "browserRect") // sets the dimensions of the browser instance to the dimensions of the image
end makeBrowserWork

end makeBrowserWork
It works!!! I was inserting the code in the wrong stack.
THANK YOU SOO MUCH!! if you were in Brisbane, Australia I will invite you to a few drinks on me!
Thanks mate!

revBrowserSet tBrowserID, "rect", (the rect of image "browserRect")

Sorry, it was my antivirus (it was set on a property that let access to the internet only from Windows Internet Explorer). So what I did is turn it off and everything worked well
, except that when I typed a new address, it went to it and then, in some minutes it went back ot the first webpage that I visited. So what I do is close that app and then open it again and type the next address
. Is there any other way to do that
